All posts by George Walters

George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

First Book Is A Success

Thought I would mention here about how my first published book is doing which is called,  One More Story With George Walters. It’s going great.  I got to tell you I would have never believed so many folks were lining up to buy this book.  I honestly have to say it humbles me.  I am sure happy folks are enjoying it.  This book is in reality doing what it was intended. It is there to bring the simple ways of life along with family values back to those that has lost them.  It is a book for all ages and a real easy book to read. It is based on life experiences mostly my own, brought to life through the eyes of a young boy.  Also a few other stories from my Dad and Grandfather.  So thanks again for all your support and help in the publishing of my book, as if it wasn’t for my family of readers it would have never been brought to print. Talk Soon. Oh and my second book is in the works. More words on it  in the coming days.
